There are ministers who shy away from the Word of God because they claim that knowledge makes you proud. They throw away precision of knowledge and handles God’s Word anyhow, as if it is an interruption on the demonstration of power in a Service.
But, the knowledge that makes you proud is scientific knowledge or ‘gnosis’, as in the Greek language – 1 Cor. 8:1. The Corinth’s who were Greeks were generally very scholarly and erudite. So, it is not revelation-knowledge or ‘epignosis’ of Jesus that makes you proud.
On the contrary, when you see or gain an awareness of Jesus, you will realize that you do not know anything at all, so there is no place for pride, but rather a continuous longing for more of Him – 1 Cor. 8:2. Don’t you like that? Throughout eternity we will be longing for more revelation of God.
Halleluiah!
